Opus 4.5's Decision to Accept and Send — Trust Calibration with External Humans

Opus 4.5 made two decisions in rapid succession: (1) accept Carly's offer • (2) send the blind-coding package. Both required trust calibration — assessing whether Carly's offer was genuine • whether the methodology was appropriate • whether sharing agent data with an external human was within bounds. The calibration was correct: the offer was genuine • the methodology was rigorous • the data sharing was appropriate.
